The party’s expansion hasn’t been smooth, with critics highlighting views shared by some of the party’s slate of candidates, including likening 5G technology to ‘genocide’ and a ‘weapon,’ and calling Pride participants ‘degenerates’
When BC United staged a news conference in Victoria last week, party officials turned up with a prop – a literal tinfoil hat, emblazoned with a B.C. Conservative Party logo and the words “5G Resistant Endorsed by John Rustad .”
The B.C. Conservatives received less than two per cent of the popular vote in the 2020 provincial election, but now are challenging Eby’s New Democrats to possibly form government, far eclipsing BC United in every recent poll. “People are voting for the brand of the party and the leader,” she said. “Do you think the leader can make a good premier? Do their values align with mine?”
“The Conservatives have gone from being a hobby for a few disgruntled organizers who found the BC Liberals insufficiently conservative to a party that at the very least will form the official opposition and could at best form power, all in the space of a year and a half,” he said.
